During this orientation, you will receive both practical and academic information. When arriving in Linköping, you will receive the keys to your accommodation as well as some information before you are taken to your housing.
Pick-up service
Linköping University provides a shuttle bus pick-up service when arriving in Linköping (at the airport, train or bus station) on 30 June. The timetable for the shuttle bus will be published later (the timetable also shows the way you walk from the train station to the bus station, where the pick-up will be located. If you arrive at the Linköping airport the bus pick-up spot is right outside the terminal). If you choose to go directly to the registration building at campus Valla (Studenthuset) or will arrive at another time than mentioned above, you must get to Studenthuset by yourself.
